There are a lot of ways to rate the performance of a CEO.

But the people who understand the CEO best are the company's employees that work under the person's leadership every day.

So job-hunting site Glassdoor sifted through its massive stores of company reviews to create a list of the Top 50 Best CEOs. All of the CEOs on this list received at least 100 reviews from employees during the past year.

Tech CEOs made up a little under half the list, but they dominated the Top 5, including one surprise CEO you may not know.

No. 16: Airbnb’s Brian Chesky

"Tons of energy, very smart and friendly people, incredible food program. The founders are good guys, well-meaning, even if their lack of experience comes through (which it does frequently). For a Silicon Valley company, Airbnb is about as diverse as you'll find, which is a huge plus." - Marketing in San Francisco, CA

No. 13: Intuit’s Brad Smith

"Great company with great benefits and generally good pay. Offices and work environment are the best I have ever been at with my career. Generally the Senior Executive Management Team (CEO, CTO, COO, etc) are really good. All in all, Intuit is a great place to work." - Senior Business Analyst in Remote, OR

No. 10: Cognizant Technology Solutions’ Frank D’Souza

"Friendly and helpful work environment. Higher Management is approachable. Bench period is short compared to most companies and also to the deserving, there are plenty of onsite opportunities." - Technical Analyst in Teaneck, NJ

No. 8: Salesforce’s Marc Benioff

"The CEO and executive leadership team do an excellent job ensuring all employees are aligned with the company vision and inspired to contribute." - SalesForce UI/User Experience Designer (San Francisco, CA)
